Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

His Own Writer

Don't corner the writer – put
him in a cage and poke; you
like Shakespeare...then read
Shakespeare! And let the writer
be his own rhyming or ill rhymed-bloke. 
To me, mistakes, imperfections – 
spontaneous glitches, as I prefer to
call them – send me into joyful stitches; 
a fresh exhibition of relatable nature – 
the transformation of perfection into 
Human Interest.  So, let the writer
be his or her own protagonist, or Free-willed
blessed Nemesis. Write and read whatever
tickles you pickles you...and let Mike be Mike, 
and Jane
be a literal-pain 
to her personable like.

Marshall Iftekhar Ahmed January 8, 2022 at 4:06 PM Nice rhyming in the free verses, Joe! Your writing is so delicate, warm like a friend saying something!! Yes, leave the poet alone! One of our great poet said, there is no criticism for poetry, only appreciation or rejection, meaning don't torture the poet. just like what you are saying! isn't it? Also another great poet our said, if you like someone's writing, you say it out loud to the world, but if you do not, say it, but say it to yourself only! aren't these great views! Thanks - Marshall Joseph P. DiMino January 8, 2022 at 4:40 PM Wise observations, Marshal. Thank you. If God were an inflexible critic, we would all be sunk. Grateful God is more loving. Blessings my friend. Your encouragement means a lot to me. Joe.

Kim Rodrigues January 8, 2022 at 9:05 AM So many different types of writing. I love many though some too hard for current attention span. I love when people are real and relatable, can spin a fun tale, really put their ideas into a poetry wash. Great poem, Joe! Joseph P.
